president clinton, george w. bush and obama have all refused. in the 2008 campaign, mr. obama declared his support for jerusalem as the israeli capital, but didn't preclude negotiations. romney himself has declined to criticize the president while abroad, but he unloaded on him earlier this week. >> president obama is fond of lecturing israel's leaders. he was even caught by a microphone deriding them. >> some saw the timing of the ceremony, a day before romney travels to israel, as an efforts to upstage him. democrats denied him. >> that's not true at all because it's john boehner and eric cantor who set the time frame for this. >> polls give the president a substantial lead over mitt romney among jewish voters, but not nearly as big as the lead he enjoyed over john mccain. the romney camp hopes just reducing the advantage will help change the outcome in november. brett? >> bret: wendell goler, thank you. the opening ceremony for the summer olympics is going on right now in london. more than 10,000 athletes from 200 countries will compete in 34 venues. attendance is exp

george w. bush, a guy who is very likable one-on-one just doesn't like politics. and mitt romney has been showing that he doesn't have the touch. he's picked great britain, israel and poland, three countries that have three different completely different reasons to not like barack obama and to embrace mitt romney and he seemed to bungle those three trips. >> yeah, it's true, joe. i think your point is very well taken. people like politicians who seem to like what they're doing, who are having a good time, who can drag them along and say, come on, this is going to be fun, we're going to turn the country around. i think both candidates do lack that. they almost seem strained when they're out campaigning, like they're being forced to take their medicine. that's a very, very important point. second, this is august and you say will they remember these one incident, two incidents from this trip? it begins to pile up. after a while they just say, god, what's going on here? and the candidate almost becomes a caricature and i think mitt romney is not quite there yet but fa
